3.2.1 Online Connection Chip
PowerWriter supports the online operation of all the storage space of the chip: read, erase, write, verify, etc., and provides a series of additional functions to obtain some of the important data of the chip, before performing the online operation, the first step should be to ensure that the target chip and the PowerWriter can be properly connected, the next section lists the operation flow and the solutions to common problems when operating online. The next section lists the procedures and solutions to common problems during online operation.
3.2.1 PowerWriter App Connection
Use the Type C USB cable provided with the PowerWriter to connect to the PC, open the PowerWriter client software, if you can see the log bar normally, similar to the following information, and can correctly read the Power Writer's hardware information, then it means normal:
02/23-11:24:28:365> Writer Info:hwVer:1.1 blVer:1.00.02 ifVer:1.00.28 SN:FB606CF3057558DA61176AE8F307B875 Target:PW200
02/23-11:24:28:393> Power Writer® is connected...
02/23-11:24:28:395> Version switch: PW200
02/23-11:24:28:484> Update programmer setup complete...
02/23-11:24:28:484> Please select the chip first!
02/23-11:24:28:513> Firmware is the latest version
If there is a problem with this step, please refer to:
- Check if the USB cable is normal, you can try to replace the cable to test, or replace the USB connector to retry.
- Refer to Solutions to common driver problems.
3.2.2 PowerWriter whit target Chip
After checking that the PowerWriter software and PowerWriter hardware connections are okay, follow the
- Chip wiring diagram reference and Signal Definition to connect the target chip to the PowerWriter hardware.
- Select the corresponding chip model in the PowerWriter software interface.
If the connection is normal, you can see a message similar to the following in the log column (prompt: target chip is connected...) If the connection is normal, you can see a message like the following in the log bar (message: Target chip is connected...):
02/23-11:41:27:101> STM32F103xF Flash 大小: 768.00KB
